CDRC has Population Reporting Searches available to support the identification and management of patients with un-coded / coded CKD.
Accessing the CKD Population Reporting Searches
To access the CDRC CKD Population Reporting Searches on EMIS, you will need to download and import the following .zip file:
If you have not performed this process before, please refer to the Download/ Import guide below, which provides you with step-by-step instructions on how to Download and Import .zip files into EMIS:
Please note : Do not use the CDRC Renal Subreports folder contained within this.zip file, the searches within this folder are used to build the primary searches prefixed with a ? noted in the guidance below.
You can check whether you have the most up-to-date version by reviewing the date on the .zip file. Any updates to the Population Reporting searches will be communicated to CDRC Precision users via the mailing list for the CDRC.
